It has been a while since my last post because I have been away traveling for three weeks in Europe. We spent a few days in London, which we absolutely fell in love with. We stayed in Notting Hill just around the corner from Jamie Oliver's restaurant. The food was so good that we ended up going there multiple times. Below is a picture of one of our meals there; an amazing Thai curry that we enjoyed there.
Another one of our favourite places was Wholefoods in Kensington. So much choice in different foods from around the globe including freshly prepared. Above Wholefoods there is even a raw foods restaurant called SAF but you can also buy there amazing raw foods cakes in Wholefoods. We loved the raw hazelnut torte and the raw tiramisu cake! One word: Amazing!!!
After our stay in London I spent a few days in Wellingborough at the Juice Academy run by Jason Vale. This is part of my Natural Juice Therapist course and amounts to half of the course which I am required to do in order to become qualified. I am now working towards completion of the other half of the course and at this stage it is my goal to complete this before we go to run the New York Marathon closer to the end of the year. I would highly recommend the academy, it is great to be with so many like minded people and the energy is out of this word! Jason is one of the most energetic and passionate people I have seen and loves to share his knowledge.
The final stop was Germany close to the Black Forrest where we enjoyed lots of time with my husbands wonderful family and also caught up with our friends there. We loved every moment of it and came back with lots of beautiful moments or memories to treasure. This is the gorgeous view from my parents in law's balcony: such a beautiful way to wake up and enjoy my breakfast!
